Huawei P30 Pro: Photography as the main feature
The cameras are undoubtedly the calling card of the Huawei P30 Pro. The Chinese brand is committed to combining four sensors in the phone. The main sensor is 40 MP with an aperture f / 1.6 And it comes with a redesigned RGB filter. The greens of it have been modified by yellow tones, so that it has a greater sensitivity to light. It reaches the level of a professional camera as they have expressed from the brand. The second sensor is a 20 MP wide-angle 120º with aperture f / 2.2 and a third, which is one of the big surprises.
Huawei introduces an 8 MP sensor with f / 3.4 aperture, square, since in it we have the 5x periscope zoom. It is an impressive zoom, which allows you to do 10x optical zoom, 5x hybrid zoom and 50x digital zoom, with no loss of quality in no time. This already places them above their competitors in the market. It also surpasses professional cameras. Along with these sensors we find the TOF sensor. This sensor has been designed to understand the operation of the camera, and to be able to apply improvements. In addition, we also find artificial intelligence in them.
The cameras of this Huawei P30 Pro are a revolution in the market. They also use AIS, which allows a unique stabilization of the images, with a night mode that is positioned as the best on the market. AI HDR + has also been introduced in these cameras. Thanks to this technology, you have the ability to understand light in real time, allowing you to compensate for light if necessary. In this way we will be able to use the camera in all kinds of situations, regardless of the type of light.
These improvements do not only affect photos, but also videos. Since yese has introduced both OIS and AIS in video recording. This allows videos to be stabilized at all times, even when recording night movies. This will allow for higher quality in all kinds of situations. Finally, in the front camera, a 32 MP sensor with f / 2.0 aperture is used, where we also have facial unlocking of the phone.

In this case we we find a single option of 8 GB of RAM. Although the device has several storage. You will be able to choose between 128, 256 and 512 GB of internal storage. All combinations have the possibility of expanding said space, so storage capacity is not going to be a problem in this high-end range.
The battery capacity has been increased, something that was being rumored in these past weeks. This Huawei P30 Pro makes use of a 4.200 mAh capacity battery. In addition, 40W SuperCharge fast charging has been introduced in it. Thanks to this charge, it is possible to charge 70% of the battery in just 30 minutes. We also have wireless charging in it, since this high-end has a glass body.
The Huawei P30 Pro arrives with Android Pie natively. Along with the operating system we have EMUI 9.1 as a customization layer. In combination with the processor, and the battery management functions of Android Pie, autonomy will never be a problem in the high range. Another important aspect for users interested in the phone.
